I have decided to bring CineCultania Podcast to a proper end. Medical bills, tech issues, time constraints & the lack of a steady co-host have forced me to reconsider my attempts to keep it alive. Unfortunately the back episodes will no longer be on any server. It's all over.

06 November, 2010

In which Ben & Drew begin getting a podcasting rhythm going, just as things go horribly awry & kind of awesome all at once in this weeks film selections, Phillipe Mora's The Return of Captain Invincible, & Captain Power & The Soldies of the Future (not a movie!). We also discuss some recent straight to DVD horror efforts & promote cider.

In which Drew & Ben begin the ongoing Crocspastic extravaganza. Nothing but crocodile films, right here, right now, & again at some later date. In our first edition, we reach deep into the swampy mists of the 1980s for the Italian KILLER CROCODILE & the Australian DARK AGE.

In which CineCultania makes a less than dramatic or sober return to dual host podcasting! Ben returns with new co-host Drew. It's a bit of a mess, not helped by Roger Christian's Starship (AKA Lorca & The Outlaws AKA 2084), as Drew adjusts to hearing his voice & Ben struggles with lounge room recording on an EeePC with multiple headset adapters. This is the future folks, enjoy!

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN LOST RELATED SPOILERS (which Drew claims are not spoilers due to the revelations sucking)

14 August, 2010

In which Ben goes over the final days of his Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) experience. Films discussed include Mark Hartley's Machete Maidens Unleashed, Rubber, Joe Dante's The Movie Orgy, Nostalgia for the Light, Fassbinder's World on a Wire, Godard's Film Socialisme, & a brief examination of the similarities between Scott Pilgrim Vs The World & Inception.

30 July, 2010

In which Ben returns with his first frontline report on the 59th Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF). Thoughts on nihilistic Russians in MY JOY, the 'if Adult Swim made a documentary' THE JUCHE IDEA, madmen & good ol' boys in THE KILLER INSIDE ME & the joke killing CITY OF LIFE AND DEATH.

In which Alex & Ben return to the world of podcasting. A minor error occurs in which the 1st 24mins are repeated once, so skip forward a bit. Apologies. We discuss what has been happening during our absence, what films we have been watching, & cover an extensive & hilarious selection of feedback.

10 April, 2010

In which Alex & Ben take a walk on the lighter side of life with Nadia Tass' The Big Steal (1990) & Richard Benjamin's Marci X (2003). Yes, we are taking it easy on Alex, & she is putting Ben through the ringer with Lisa Kudrow & Damon Wayans. They keep it real, bringing the same forceful retardation to comedy as they do to horror & whacked out cinema. Or something.

What Is...?

An Australian perspective on the most obsessive, obscure and eclectic cinema available. We travel to the furthest realms to bring back the best and worst of local and international film. Without fear we will guide you toward the shining peaks of art-house cinema, through the degradations of mainstream blockbusters and do battle with the B-Grade demons that lurk inside that abandoned drive-in you daren't walk past at midnight.

CineCultania is your friend and will hold your hand as we tackle them all.
